Rules are rules, folks. Microsoft has confirmed that in order to edit documents with Microsoft Office on the iPad Pro, you’ll need to pay for an Office 365 subscription, according to Winbeta. As it turns out, the decision was one that was already made when the iPad Pro was announced, and is based purely on the size of the display.Apple’s recently announced iPad Pro is marketed straight at those seeking a tablet for productivity and professional work, and one of the staples of modern day-to-day business is Microsoft Office.

When Microsoft announced earlier this week that it would no longer be handing out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 subscribers via its OneDrive service, those affected were obviously not enthused. Users who were previously unbounded by the all-you-can-eat buffet that was endless cloud storage will soon be limited to a less satisfying 1TB. Those latching on to the 100 and 200GB plans will see reduction to a dismal 50GB at the same monthly cost. Even free users will be affected, by a reduction from 15GB to a meager 5GB of complimentary storage. And that all goes without mentioning the 15GB camera roll feature, which is to be axed altogether.You may not, at first glance, understand why this is frustrating. So we were duped — a company changed its mind a year later because it was losing money — what else is new?But that’s not the whole story.
